Tips

  • If you don't have dates, you could always use something like honey.
  • For the garlic, just one clove is enough. If you put two, your body will register it.
  • Stay at the bottom for a little bit and slowly make your way up while blending to emulsify the sauce.
  • The mustard and the vinegar, combined with the dates, sweeten it up and give it a fire taste
